As I noted in my piece on Rudy and Bill Simon yesterday , Bill, a great guy and a conservative is a good advocate for Rudy. He’s a non-shilly shill and he’s honest. Honest maybe to a fault though. When you press him on Giuliani’s views on some issues — not small issues — there’s a it’s-too-early sense about having positions.

This may be best illustrated by his interview on Bill Bennett’s show this morning. Bill asked about amnesty and the line went dead.
